Ctrl+C 2 Are.na

Simple Go utility that monitors the Clipboard. Whenever you Ctrl+C it sends the copied text to the specified channel in your Are.na profile.

Things you need to run/develop the source code:

• Go (https://go.dev/).
• An Are.na account.
• An ARENA_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN (https://dev.are.na/oauth/applications).
• The slug of the channel you want to feed (as of https://www.are.na/{your-profile}/{your-channel}).

Inside the folder execute in the console go run .

Final executables

Here is the Windows .exe file: https://github.com/animanoir/CtrlC_2_Are.na/releases/tag/release

I'll add soon the Mac/Linux apps (or if anyone wants to do it feel free).

Build

go build automatically detects your current operating system and architecture to build for that target by default. However, Go also supports cross-compilation, allowing you to build for different platforms by setting the GOOS and GOARCH environment variables.

For Windows, this command should work: go build -ldflags="-H=windowsgui" -o ctrl2arena.exe

For cross-compilation examples:

# Build for Windows from any OS
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -ldflags="-H=windowsgui" -o ctrl2arena.exe

# Build for Linux
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o ctrl2arena

# Build for macOS
GOOS=darwin GOARCH=amd64 go build -o ctrl2arena

You can see all supported target combinations with: go tool dist list

Use case

I like to read and collect information in my Are.na from books and stuff. I also find tedious to copy/paste it each time. So now this tool automatically does it for me, and I can save important notes outside my main computer. This has made my research easier and funnier.

Collaboration

Please, feel free to fork and enhance the current code so it becomes easier and beautiful to use!
